Caustic Acrostic, by Fugazi
lights out
for the cynical sharps
for their wide-eyed foils
and all attendant props
supporters of flash and pan-friend fucks who
greast like cops throwing
round their body weight and
i feel dangerous and vexed
swinging two ton second guess
and every motion just cuts
too cruel too cruel
and the implication is that
you’re implicated
like a caustic acrostic
spelling out your name
lights out cos i can
see in the dark
sidewind my way to the mark of
fuse lines gas-wet for a spark
i crash i burn
i’ve fuly lost it anyway
and you’re lost it anyway
and you’re nowhere
lights out loser
